Cable is the worst, and these days there are plenty of compelling reasons to cut the cable not the least of which is that you can just use a regular TV antenna to get 1080p broadcasts for free.

Seriously, why would you bother with cable at all? We've completely ditched in our house, and indeed there's evidence that we're not the only people who are giving a big middle finger to the cable providers with their astronomical prices and crappy service. For on-demand video we've got Hulu and Netflix. That alone is more than enough to keep us occupied, and when and if we get a hankering for some real-time TV action, we can get it in HD over the airwaves with just a cheap antenna—our deal of the day is a great example. With an antenna, we get enough live sports, network prime time, and news. Just about the only thing we can't have without cable is HBO, and frankly, that's not enough to keep us plugged in. -MA
